I have been hired to do my student teaching for seminary next year. I am excited about that and as well Chantal had our second child. His name is Benson Alyn Dougal. We know his initials spell bad, but we figure people have survived with crazy names so I think he will survive with those initials. I will let you in on the whole birth process. Not everyone knows the entire story. In fact most people don't at all. We went in when Chantal was 7 weeks pregnant and assumed she was around 2 weeks pregnant. The next time we came in was supposed to be around the ten week appointment. We got our first ultrasound and they said you have a boy on the way. He crosses his legs modestly but he is definitely a boy and you are actually a little over 14 weeks along. The next news came as quite a surprise. We were brought into the doctors office and told not to worry, but they saw something on the ultrasound that they don't always see. He had two choroid plexuses on his brain. They said because of new technology they have started seeing them more often but they don't usually see them with the next observation. He also had a few white wisps on his heart. They also said this can be common but they don't usually see them both and they don't often see them in multiples. Then the doctor says go home and don't look it up on the internet. Everything will be ok. So the first thing we do is look it up on the internet and what do we see? Trisomy 18, a debilitating genetic disorder. Well that put us in a sound mind right there, but we prayed and prayed and felt everything would be fine. This is one reason why we didn't tell everyone because people are already stressed and we figured everything would be ok. We ended up going in for a four ultrasounds as our little boy was growing. After 14 weeks we went back in and did one last ultrasound to make sure all was well and they said everything looked great. We were extremely happy to hear this. SO then the wait begins. At 39 weeks his time came. Chantal started having contractions in the morning on Friday the 27th. We walked all over the place and even went to costco. We came back to our house and went for another walk. We went over to our neighbors house down the road and sat and talked for some time while Chantal was having some big contractions. It started to rain and my parents were at our house so they came and grabbed us. Amber and Jake and their children were there as well. They stayed around and Chantal said we could be having this baby tonight. I don't think anyone believed her until right before Amber left that she said maybe you will have this baby tonight. I fell asleep around 130 and was woken up at 4 to head to the hospital. My mom came over to watch Bryn and off we were to the hospital. We got in quick and then ended up having to wait for the doctor to finish a surgery to come break the water. He did that around ten and Benson came at 1:15. The pushing took a little longer this time, but it went so well. Everyone was praying from red hair but as he came out his father was right...he was dark and hairy....Not as hairy as Brynlee. West Valley was an amazing hospital. We loved the nurses and doctors and the rooms with the big queen size bed was pretty nice as well. Recovery is great and Brynlee loves her little brother. She smothers him with kisses and hugs. He was 7 lbs 1 ounce and 19 inches long.Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345975805057251576.post-11272980350843397362011-03-19T19:48:00.000-07:002011-03-19T20:05:01.493-07:00Not much here<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPHbRQat7LF1eL0rUagpptsAKTfVTrit7_7-ZTEjhaCnooRXZerC0TN8U2A1he8jBjyNYXdPeP6IM1dss5lQzQMKztBMttV1-F0M4BJDEx-Zq_FosHXiMl5-DEDuR1PKSx_7hHr6C4ydA/s1600/ballroom+030.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPHbRQat7LF1eL0rUagpptsAKTfVTrit7_7-ZTEjhaCnooRXZerC0TN8U2A1he8jBjyNYXdPeP6IM1dss5lQzQMKztBMttV1-F0M4BJDEx-Zq_FosHXiMl5-DEDuR1PKSx_7hHr6C4ydA/s320/ballroom+030.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585992773443783426" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPcQhMA5LQA6dM_mzHrg9fDGRlNkMYxTbI4l_xPkTpDCmwAd31Qrdux7mbetXdELzksEtudWwSRzNSe-qKMLMYOV_aaTtglSYeH4V2mmR9C3-MGvjiS6vJ7-w_MecZ77vSWHkBYxw4S_Q/s1600/ballroom+029.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPcQhMA5LQA6dM_mzHrg9fDGRlNkMYxTbI4l_xPkTpDCmwAd31Qrdux7mbetXdELzksEtudWwSRzNSe-qKMLMYOV_aaTtglSYeH4V2mmR9C3-MGvjiS6vJ7-w_MecZ77vSWHkBYxw4S_Q/s320/ballroom+029.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585992544552253314" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQjgMOZM70LbSRrFQblrgvEVmWQz0KZ_bBt8fhWMoTXEnfBuskScK7fpUO6BEGLvbAPZpg-rg04AL1_O388WZwzEokig_s6hH50QNwWU61RatrWpuzLMH2kaxVD9uxUIaIa8za30TNZR4/s1600/ballroom+028.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQjgMOZM70LbSRrFQblrgvEVmWQz0KZ_bBt8fhWMoTXEnfBuskScK7fpUO6BEGLvbAPZpg-rg04AL1_O388WZwzEokig_s6hH50QNwWU61RatrWpuzLMH2kaxVD9uxUIaIa8za30TNZR4/s320/ballroom+028.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585991714660479234" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3AYRo0AFNDZMOH0x7RK93_fH-VcyynD6wxOHcLKPzt9-VgAel6vgFNCcqLLd2NH-R3-jbviiLVRBUoZOT7fqd9udlZQZ48X81rqtRZz2VPxipVEW7ANbbLfMse-WwK_lCF2sPwkTLfyo/s1600/ballroom+026.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3AYRo0AFNDZMOH0x7RK93_fH-VcyynD6wxOHcLKPzt9-VgAel6vgFNCcqLLd2NH-R3-jbviiLVRBUoZOT7fqd9udlZQZ48X81rqtRZz2VPxipVEW7ANbbLfMse-WwK_lCF2sPwkTLfyo/s320/ballroom+026.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585991459186963186" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx6bfOuYqa6_-0q3tPHiswQ3G1e9zXRKfau9nfjs1EoB3MugImixuqupHwfyLoSCqGviRnc26KKWF6yfEA2U3P5dmvs4PLIn9ZWSVEF1W1sCrtf73rwspoE97tnII9AL_t9SIWijPSpwA/s1600/ballroom+016.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhx6bfOuYqa6_-0q3tPHiswQ3G1e9zXRKfau9nfjs1EoB3MugImixuqupHwfyLoSCqGviRnc26KKWF6yfEA2U3P5dmvs4PLIn9ZWSVEF1W1sCrtf73rwspoE97tnII9AL_t9SIWijPSpwA/s320/ballroom+016.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5585990936462944370" border="0" /></a><br />So not a whole lot has happened recently. Brynlee is growing up extremely quick. She loves to feed herself and dress up now and dance parties happen on a daily basis in our family. I also am getting excited for our next little addition to the world. I don't have much to write as the only thing we have done in the last few days is cut down trees and paint the pink teal and yellow room. It took three coast to cover the whole thing and two coats of primer. Glad it is almost done. It is just nice having a roof over our head honestly.Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345975805057251576.post-66150093473285500002011-03-04T13:34:00.000-08:002011-03-04T13:46:30.967-08:00Life in General<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-lKPT4tN13T4tQmCS2ZgomCfU66r04qJ_aIgjJ1SeumEir5KilQW-eUM1gQbcTYH7tZsOm6TK1gC8toQpfPWFHY_fT6-FaDYugJYnlY5AmFrDym6yjxcC5wgymup3R_IU4-mwrTcj8Co/s1600/DSCN0728.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-lKPT4tN13T4tQmCS2ZgomCfU66r04qJ_aIgjJ1SeumEir5KilQW-eUM1gQbcTYH7tZsOm6TK1gC8toQpfPWFHY_fT6-FaDYugJYnlY5AmFrDym6yjxcC5wgymup3R_IU4-mwrTcj8Co/s320/DSCN0728.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580343971371323154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsI4NAP0tWazMqIwpZCmAyaEgAOTihU5UgDTs8vewPx-8NK8FvIDVQ15vvN1mHnOFEkSfheSamTKEMgXn9hhHa0IXMjN9EwRz5cDnx-xFuJKoA5-QVrVTtE9t_ywDVLPTuK33l1taU9N0/s1600/Jr.+Team.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsI4NAP0tWazMqIwpZCmAyaEgAOTihU5UgDTs8vewPx-8NK8FvIDVQ15vvN1mHnOFEkSfheSamTKEMgXn9hhHa0IXMjN9EwRz5cDnx-xFuJKoA5-QVrVTtE9t_ywDVLPTuK33l1taU9N0/s320/Jr.+Team.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580343375170953634" border="0" /></a><br />I don't know if anyone will see this because we have not posted in a while. I guess I will give a quick update. Life is pretty good. I was hired as a seminary teacher for a while, but when the teacher came back I went off into the sunset to hope to be able to teach again someday. We have made some pretty significant changes to our home. It has been a lot of work but I can't even count the amount of trees I have cut down or hours I have spent in the back yard. We just got back with out team from the Ballroom National Showdance Championships in Rexburg. Our team is now the National Title holders in the standard youth division and our preteen team is second. It is quite an accomplishment for the first year coaching. They beat out quite a few teams that had danced much longer than they had. Other than that...Brynlee is getting big and we have another little boy coming into our life here at the beginning of June. Chantal is starting to show. The pregnancy things just seems to agree with her. Why not? She does everything else amazingly.<br />I have also started doing work at a website called <a href="http://vineyard.lds.org/">vineyard.lds.org</a>. It is a site that helps the church organize different materials. It is really cool to get on in my spare time and help out. They said there is enough material that it would take 30 years to do it all themselves so they are asking for help with tagging and identifying page breaks and everything. Hopefully we will be better at updating. I am going to make it my goal to at least write once every other week. Someone keep me accountable on this one!Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345975805057251576.post-32000774572459129572010-03-23T19:16:00.000-07:002010-03-23T19:38:12.369-07:00Oregon coast trip!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcitxUdIc0_Yd_2COG-907guY4hNYVJnO8BH_sl2t54aIPf8hyXB6KDASJdmax18dwfPWAeOPycob6Z_dMjoebpPlDCITiSYrCwRnPAAS1_Dqt66lF9pBMfy1I7eiIeKawXiHyz4zhtT4/s1600-h/DSCN0529.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

There were a bunch of seals down there!<br /><br /><br />We had a super great time over spring break! Trevor, Brynlee and I went on vacation with Dustin and Kierstin to the Oregon Coast! It was so nice to get away and relax. We stayed at the Worldmark in Gleneden (thank you Aunt Nicole). We ate horribly, well I guess I should say we ate deliciously, but badly! We went in the hot tub every night (we brought Brynlee in her carseat) and we gallivanted about the coastside! We spent a day in Newport, and ate at this awesome like food shop on the coast. We went shopping in Lincoln city, where they had a Carters outlet! Oh yea! I got Brynlee some summer stuff and some new onesies! We went to Tillamook! Mmm Cheese (baw!!! I don't like cheese, but Trevor nearly cleaned out the squeeky cheese samples!) We had ice cream! We got the 5 scoop sampler (we got: birthday cake, German chocolate cake, sticky cinnamon bun, marionberry pie, and another I can't remember). The ice cream was DELICIOUS! MMMM..... There was an indoor pool at the Worldmark in Depoe Bay, so we went and took Brynlee swimming for her time. We also went to a light house at Yaquina Head. It was beautiful (picture up top). They had a tour of the lighthouse, which we decided to go one, however, when we got there, they said that no one that could not walk themselves up the stairs could go. Lame! So Brynlee and went walking around the lighthouse and went and watched the ocean, she thought it was pretty cool.<br /><br />So I feel like I am rambling now, Moral of the story, it was a blast and I was so glad that we were able to go with such good friends!Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345975805057251576.post-821220728240504182010-03-23T09:45:00.000-07:002010-03-23T14:46:44.470-07:00Catch Up!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFgJLErWNK5a0A9U2FQh18XEQu0tZP6kTyOHz098hx5djb1pi7NzZqPf9VnpGdKe5vtqnMMF5bn9Z38Tc22d5q6W3cID-_lON7OmuaM-lFQyaKCGyW7lIxkwJSdIM7sZ5Vs3P1EOMGTpo/s1600-h/DSCN0556.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFgJLErWNK5a0A9U2FQh18XEQu0tZP6kTyOHz098hx5djb1pi7NzZqPf9VnpGdKe5vtqnMMF5bn9Z38Tc22d5q6W3cID-_lON7OmuaM-lFQyaKCGyW7lIxkwJSdIM7sZ5Vs3P1EOMGTpo/s320/DSCN0556.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451880536686326626" border="0" /></a>Jenny Jump Up!

So this is Chantal, I am now the blogger in the fam. Trev started our blog, but he is handing over the reins. I am still a little boggled by it all. I am going to figure out how to make it amazing, I promise! <br /><br />So... What have we been up to? Well, Trev and I are both looking forward to graduation in May! Glory Glory Glory, I have been in college for 6 years! Trevor is just so special that he is going to get done with 2 degrees in 4 years, show off! :) Just kidding, I am so happy that he is taking a shorter route than I did!<br /><br />Brynlee is doing wonderfully! She is awesome, we love having her. She is just such a good girl, she never gets too worked up about anything, she normally just wants to hang out with the fam. She loves attention (cough, like her father, cough :) ) and as long as she is getting some, she is good to go!<br /><br />We are still working on getting everything taken care of for the house. We found out on Saturday that our paperwork was sent to the wrong place, which is way stinky! We are hoping it will all come through sometime soon, if not Mom and Pop Dougal, here we come! :) That was meant to be a threat! So the deal is, we reserved the UHaul for right after graduation, whether we have a house to move into or not! <br /><br />I am trying to play catch up with the blog on this post.

Today it is snowing like crazy and thank goodness it is Thanksgiving break. I'll let you in on a little bit that is happening in our lives. Chantal finished her student teaching and can now graduate and teach, but she won't be yet because we just had a beautiful baby. I will come back to this later in my blog.<br />To make life fun about a month and a half ago I was playing football and as I was diving across the goal line I got kneed in the back of the head. I split my head open really wide and spent the night getting stitched up. I'll add a picture for those of you who did not get to see my fun yet. Then two weeks after that I was playing in my intramural soccer game, that was getting a little more rough than usual, and ended up popping my knee out of place. I spent the next month hobbling around but I am happy to say that I am finally to the point that I can walk again and it doesn't hurt. I know I know, accident prone...won't stop me from doing what I like to do.<br />Now on to our newest news. Our baby was born on Nov 17 at 3:45. Chantal's water decided it was time to break at 11:30 the night before. No sleep at all seeing as those beds at the hospital are painful. We went through about 12 hours of labor before the doctor came and told us we were stuck at 8 cm. They said they would give us two hours and then do a c-section. We decided it was time to pray and in the end everything worked out and we didn't end up having to get one. Chantal was lucky and only pushed for about ten minutes and out came the baby. I thought I was not going to want to help, but when it all started I got to help out the whole time. She came out and was born with an amazingly large amount of brown hair. We did not expect it! She was 7.7 lbs and 20 inches long. Her name is Brynlee Marie Dougal. She is pretty much adorable. The nurses were all obsessed with her and didn't want to bring her back into the room. She has been such a good baby though. She rarely cries except when getting her clothes changed because moscow is freezing cold and snowing. I will add as many pictures as I can. The last picture will be of the head wound so if you are woozy don't look at the last one.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX3C1izHlGSUNjMr6EZyoFWhphNHJd96X5ddKV4MTS5MbrCKLn2g_xsF_87u3GhjCvYic0-qyvW-s0B_pw4s09W1jF4YXdk78C_tnGZ0tf-WhOS5xpw9CUHOLRy72i_W37Vz1v24ts1oQ/s1600/baby+baby+045.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX3C1izHlGSUNjMr6EZyoFWhphNHJd96X5ddKV4MTS5MbrCKLn2g_xsF_87u3GhjCvYic0-qyvW-s0B_pw4s09W1jF4YXdk78C_tnGZ0tf-WhOS5xpw9CUHOLRy72i_W37Vz1v24ts1oQ/s320/baby+baby+045.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407031944763217442" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfG4y-V7BMVV0e4v92z9tPbtSy6eYl4ulldR6V2SEGdEnrC4zJACGHWUmuUZjHY0yepCdyrmKTsvSbDQ7gZUPAU44JdzhldvYnLFbOVSm175gfkHGRdSDW8nxHwZ3a_eAGg9jxC-hBgXU/s1600/baby+baby+081.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfG4y-V7BMVV0e4v92z9tPbtSy6eYl4ulldR6V2SEGdEnrC4zJACGHWUmuUZjHY0yepCdyrmKTsvSbDQ7gZUPAU44JdzhldvYnLFbOVSm175gfkHGRdSDW8nxHwZ3a_eAGg9jxC-hBgXU/s320/baby+baby+081.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407032496418715250" border="0" /></a>so I won't be showing the other picture below because I can't find it.

We are pretty excited about it, but sometimes wish it didn't take so long. I guess if it wasn't hard everyone would want to do it and believe me, there are far too many screwed up parents already. I have time to write today because for the last week I have been fighting the flu and yesterday I woke up and could fight no more. It only knocked me out for about a day. Today I have already removed myself from the couch the couch, so that it a plus. It is not fun. I would suggest not getting it, but I can't complain because it wasn't really that bad compared to everyone else up here.<br />What else is new? Well, I added some new music. There is some pretty good music out right now. We are excited for So You Think You Can Dance again, but hope they don't turn it into a gimmick. I hate when everyone has some random story to get them by the judges. I know some are legit, but really, it's a dance show, not a soap opera. I figure we have enough of that in our lives. It seems that lots of facebook, myspace and blogs these days are only to whine and complain about things we dislike. So I will try to be more optimistic so I won't be one of "The Complainers"! Intramural soccer has started again and so far we are doing really well. We have won two for two. I have the shin bruises to prove it. Ballroom has also started. It looks like it will be the best year we have had so far. I hope it keeps going.<br />Soon enough I will start looking for jobs and figure where Chantal and I are going. That should be fun! I can't really think of anything else so I will write again another time.Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345975805057251576.post-22315821338522394952009-08-17T13:12:00.001-07:002009-08-17T13:18:15.505-07:00and a little bit moreI'm just writing the post because lately I have been a little more down. It is frustrating. I have been to five doctors and all of them have no clue how to do their jobs. So I came to a new doctor and he did a great job and he had tons of ideas about my ribs and how I tore the cartilage between them! Well life was going well. We finally knew what was going wrong and how to fix it. Then this morning I received a call from the doctor. The radiologist went over the xrays and was kind of confused. He said my chest looked like I had bronchitis. So he asked me how I was feeling and of course I am still terribly sore, but I have not been sick really. They checked my white blood cell count to see if it was a gallbladder problem and it isn't. They checked my blood oxygen levels to see if that was a problem. They checked my liver and everything else and so far have drawn lots of blood, but no conclusions. SO basically what this is coming down to is we could use all the prayers we can get right now. If anyone has any ideas other than that I am very much up for the suggestions!

So....we parked our car in a nice little spot and someone ran in to it. It was our 2005 Mitsubishi Galant. It was chillin out on the corner when I worker from Auto Hills Apartments was backing out. For months they had told the company the power steering was going out on the big steel truck. Fortunately nothing was ever taken care of. As he backed out somehow he got going pretty fast and the steering went out and boom he smashed into the front and side of the car. We are not sure yet what the total damage is, but it is going to be quite a lot. We actually thought it was pretty funny. I mean, you can't go back and change time anyway, so why be mad. Hopefully soon we will find out the entire outcome of this wonderful event.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFBrcWlm5efgf8C-QkWD7DuC71NR82XQIZl4_bX8IHtHAWEdKPZfXQQgWpp7CHrB6ZKW27S7JwjsB-Vsool1znEQ6fc5fM1Ko1jydPDGfI10t1x-RB6RUzGo7cGt7Y2_94SGjR8cdjGdc/s1600-h/car+wrecked+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFBrcWlm5efgf8C-QkWD7DuC71NR82XQIZl4_bX8IHtHAWEdKPZfXQQgWpp7CHrB6ZKW27S7JwjsB-Vsool1znEQ6fc5fM1Ko1jydPDGfI10t1x-RB6RUzGo7cGt7Y2_94SGjR8cdjGdc/s320/car+wrecked+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357299122326285506" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBu6qNcmQfFlZS_WcLs-95zPdy45DeTnajJxuFCZ07aN7jHv9QLWfhS-eLyD0VO96TgBMi6zI5-j1748e9hTo_GizgSC-_jVXBk8VRcDTQKOZ5nz4cltc_dUwq3C0pnzi051mViz-isk8/s1600-h/car+wrecked+001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBu6qNcmQfFlZS_WcLs-95zPdy45DeTnajJxuFCZ07aN7jHv9QLWfhS-eLyD0VO96TgBMi6zI5-j1748e9hTo_GizgSC-_jVXBk8VRcDTQKOZ5nz4cltc_dUwq3C0pnzi051mViz-isk8/s320/car+wrecked+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357298878846838562" border="0" /></a>Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345975805057251576.post-73092047356096378032009-07-04T23:30:00.000-07:002009-07-04T23:32:32.700-07:00My MistakeOk, babies only stay in there for like 40 weeks. So in the lower post when I said 17 months I would only be saying that if we were a herd of elephants, because they take two years. On the other hand, we do not take two years to have a baby, thank goodness, so I meant 17 and 19 weeks. Thanks Roxy, I know at least one person actually reads our blog :)!Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345975805057251576.post-59290130681540030502009-07-04T15:35:00.001-07:002009-07-04T15:53:17.299-07:00LifeLife has been crazy lately. Chantal started babysitting for this family on Thursday and loves it. She said their house is amazing and is getting ideas for when we can possibly have one. One year and counting! I have a big interview with a company called Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories on Wednesday and I am hoping to get the job because I would be working in the HR department. I have already done the first interviews and now it is down to the four or five of us. It started out with a much bigger group, but I have made it this far. So everyone wish me luck and pray for me :)! We got baby pictures which I will put up. She is a beautiful little girl. She kicks very hard. Chantal could feel her kicking when Chantal was only 17 months along and I could feel her at 19.<br /><br />Softball isn't going quite as well. Our team is in third place this year. I am happily batting about .900 or more though. I was on a batting streak of 19 with no outs until I choked :)! I have also caught some sweet dives this year.<br /><br />We have been to many yard sales and bought a 75 dollar brand new grain mill for three dollars. It had never been used. We also got tons of baby clothes and items. I have finished choreographing a lot of ballroom dances for next year and have started putting things together for when we start our studio next year. I am pretty excited about that! Well, for now, I say goodbye!Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345975805057251576.post-79326496035961616852009-05-29T09:20:00.000-07:002009-05-29T09:37:25.492-07:00I don't have a job yet<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" >Well, I don't have a job yet so I figure I can write a little more. A couple of weeks ago we took the entire ballroom teams to Seattle. It was a great trip. I will have to tell you that it is a lot harder to run a team than to just go on the trip and be the problem. It was a lot of fun and most everything went smoothly! We got to spend an entire day in downtown. It was a blast and from what I hear the rest of the ballroom team enjoyed it pretty well. I have now finished my junior year of college and I am excited to finally be in my senior year. Only one year left :)! If it goes as fast as this last semester I will be super excited.<br />Chantal and I are expecting our first baby! WE DON'T KNOW THE GENDER YET! We will find out in about a month or so what the gender is though. I always say I am hoping for a boy, but really I'll be super excited with whatever I get. Chantal is finally passed the sick stage, but still lives on B6 and Unisom.</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgamTb3n-qUVx7G5FBwNA0dPgLoOaKwSXHpI1_nxHEQ5YyQIaHq-qQd5JodYDRc960XteRl7BcdabhW_KyomzmU3K308BK4kpvKyAyRO856CcU_wYC8F1GwP9BbwtB13ZwpYiJobHDEXcE/s1600-h/fun+stuff+007.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgamTb3n-qUVx7G5FBwNA0dPgLoOaKwSXHpI1_nxHEQ5YyQIaHq-qQd5JodYDRc960XteRl7BcdabhW_KyomzmU3K308BK4kpvKyAyRO856CcU_wYC8F1GwP9BbwtB13ZwpYiJobHDEXcE/s320/fun+stuff+007.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341284180541080562" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCiStrbaUKWg2WxqwVNkZfpVAKiQTO9jG3M2_-l1uN-iqfDARTA8Jk3-K1ZBExBO-vz2nX1DoVf_qmYAsSUJ0FAL0c2ZBg_j_Rp0ojmB4j13QIFvxs1T65ljdo-beTy2w9cl36UixYxlo/s1600-h/fun+stuff+015.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCiStrbaUKWg2WxqwVNkZfpVAKiQTO9jG3M2_-l1uN-iqfDARTA8Jk3-K1ZBExBO-vz2nX1DoVf_qmYAsSUJ0FAL0c2ZBg_j_Rp0ojmB4j13QIFvxs1T65ljdo-beTy2w9cl36UixYxlo/s320/fun+stuff+015.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341284563007474978" border="0" /></a><br />Our next exciting news is we bought the entire set of ballroom costumes from the Bsu Del Sol's old team. It is four carloads of ballroom costumes. We are so excited to sort them out and figure out what we will be using this next year.<br />We also went on a great picnic with our friends Kierstin and Dustin. It was supposed to be a bike ride, but for some reason we locked our bikes up last year and have no idea what the password is. We aren't sure if actually the lock just rusted over because we are both pretty certain of what it was and now it won't work any more. So, they biked and we drove. that's about all that is going on right now. I'll write more soon seeing as I have nothing else to really do! Here are some pictures from the picnic.

Chantal finishes her first half of student teaching this next week. The weather has been fabulous and life is good. Now for the stories. This last week I learned a valuable lesson. I was teaching early morning seminary and thought the lesson was going great. everyone was involved, but a few of the boys from class kept smirking and I had no idea why. We finished class and one of them came up to me and said, "Brother Dougal, your farm door is open." I immediately knew he was ever so nicely letting me know that I taught the entire lesson with my pants unzipped. Now that's classy!<br />Our next story for the week was our wonderful muddy buddy incident. I was making muddy buddies and Chantal told me to go get the final ingredient off the counter. She told me to get the powdered sugar off the counter and to start pouring it into the bowl. I poured a whole lot of it because who doesn't enjoy sugar? I reached in and pulled out a huge handful and dropped it into my mouth only to realize it didn't taste the same as usually. In fact it made me want to puke. I ran to the trash and spit it out. Unfortunately we did not realize the "powdered sugar" on the counter was actually corn starch in a winco style bag. That is a taste I really don't want to remember any more.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC9UZ49Bf0ni-gFBNH0nD_9S8VgLttYB8VPP7bb28aY16x3aSqGF-Lrtk5A5eMPeDGV0YF3aBc-KgabaBHoPmNIylqbs1fdkdbOcyTTLA3wgEmabdyPU3n_TfAZvR2OsvmAkAoMyWFeK8/s1600-h/fun+stuff+018.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC9UZ49Bf0ni-gFBNH0nD_9S8VgLttYB8VPP7bb28aY16x3aSqGF-Lrtk5A5eMPeDGV0YF3aBc-KgabaBHoPmNIylqbs1fdkdbOcyTTLA3wgEmabdyPU3n_TfAZvR2OsvmAkAoMyWFeK8/s320/fun+stuff+018.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341281240713068514" border="0" /></a><br />Sorry, the image quality is not amazing, but that is our favorite treat all dumped out :(Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345975805057251576.post-21517901278855557472009-04-02T12:35:00.000-07:002009-04-02T13:19:38.353-07:00New Post<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmMvF7t3MtOfYgmF1hc-i0zFBxpclE8ESyIbMB9YXrVGZAe4zQHsqzXodzJkNVNMjOTUgJz2AMNgX3tQSpIksiPaFsB4Fhja0Ih_6zpg5A3Ka37tB4F10vh7okmCXokTGkRHoJnfaT5rA/s1600-h/Birthday+and+spring+break+038.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmMvF7t3MtOfYgmF1hc-i0zFBxpclE8ESyIbMB9YXrVGZAe4zQHsqzXodzJkNVNMjOTUgJz2AMNgX3tQSpIksiPaFsB4Fhja0Ih_6zpg5A3Ka37tB4F10vh7okmCXokTGkRHoJnfaT5rA/s320/Birthday+and+spring+break+038.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320181929439083266" border="0" /></a><br />So everyone is always like..."add a new post"...so I will because I am a nice guy and for no other reason. Well, that and I just cleaned the entire house and really have nothing else to do. What's going on in life? Well for spring break we went to Utah to watch the ballroom nationals with our friends Luke and Piper. It was a lot of fun, but I am glad to be home. We rented a van because Luke forgot his license. Unfortunately the breaks went out on it and they didn't help us much until we turned it in. They took a large chunk off the final cost. We were happy about that.<br /><br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzZRgIPRRfJdkgVLyb9vA5d0_PGzOdwdxcPMOBzbT26DBCt4US22moxn15qYnHNzHYEasLMk2clS70NvwqBow' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345975805057251576.post-5752452787425255502009-02-07T22:23:00.000-08:002009-02-07T22:36:08.657-08:00Something to write aboutI am not the best writer or the most philosophical person, but tonight I watched an amazing movie called August Rush with my beautiful wife and then I decided it was time to come ponder life. I know a marveling thought knowing that my life is that of sports, ballroom and school! I have been thinking about a quote by Aldous Huxley which states,<br />"Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities." It really made me think of where my priorities are in life and what should really be important to me. This life really is the time to focus on God and do our best, but what an amazing thing to know that after we have done all that we can, He will make up the rest. What hope and peace this brings about in my life.<br /><br />I also started in a round about way to think of other quotes and I thought about one that goes, "Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results." I have been taking a class called interpersonal communication and it has been quite edifying. It has made me think everyday about how I act...or in actuality how I react to life. Do I give a grumble every time something "bad" happens or do I say I am lucky enough I am capable of handling this little trial? It really is something to think about. If you are not sure if you are a well rounded happy person I suggest you take some coins and put them in your pocket and every time during the day you have a bad thought about yourself or someone else you take a coin out. It is just a visual way of seeing how we are doing. I don't think we yet understand the life changing effects our attitude can have on people around us. This last week my life was forever changed by a small chat I had with someone. It will be something that for years to come I will remember. Go out and make someone's day happy. Don't let the little things bother you or some day you will wake up to a real problem and you will not be able to cope with it. Those are my thoughts for the day!Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345975805057251576.post-11276584214394611312009-01-09T18:58:00.001-08:002009-01-09T19:29:37.466-08:00Lately<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6eZIGi8dEd_YjQ73xRN2YKdwDXzBYbB3fm1gWlq1mgZna7NOAtHoPYClB-vrZJnJj-ql1u3VDBKk39QrUaL1nicd-coQR-5QIIuWKvAuiVKlVkL2Ht-JoS_dEgGtd1IPJyCz5NeyXTf0/s1600-h/cool+060.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6eZIGi8dEd_YjQ73xRN2YKdwDXzBYbB3fm1gWlq1mgZna7NOAtHoPYClB-vrZJnJj-ql1u3VDBKk39QrUaL1nicd-coQR-5QIIuWKvAuiVKlVkL2Ht-JoS_dEgGtd1IPJyCz5NeyXTf0/s320/cool+060.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289495652237659090" border="0" /></a><br />Lately life has been great. Chantal and I hit our two year anniversary and I don't really remember what life was like before her, nor do I care to. I surprised her big time for our anniversary. We were on our way back up from caldwell and I tricked her by booking a room at the Riggins Holiday Inn on the river. It had an amazing view and a swimming pool. The two things I love. It was great.<br /><br />After getting home Chantal and I relaxed for a while until it was time for her to start student teaching. She really loves the kindergartners. She always comes home with stories of booger pickers and oh so many other things. It has been great. They haven't needed me at work, so I stayed home and cleaned. I have also spent a lot of time preparing my ballroom medleys. Let's cross our fingers that they work out.<br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dybTHLCuoXl0onx-uCdiNf_-LuXS9cF9DifQ_MRqTH8LgU4NX1ytX0gIrbxbkplhoh4GtGFtSgCZVSqu86AxA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345975805057251576.post-3506310602004289402008-10-29T22:32:00.000-07:002008-10-29T22:39:16.114-07:00Random<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiKd-_0LwvCNoUcC2QdFwupokhKfHE0Pz45kBfD0cLeI2UhXHcqOThyphenhyphen6ZmmuttP8IF7jTC5X5JAAIHpm9AIjM7zr8wUDp5sKTR-aLmljAlwP8UgxXLVBrhYBHwDEmZOBAg4kOEvjto6fU/s1600-h/IMG_1115.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiKd-_0LwvCNoUcC2QdFwupokhKfHE0Pz45kBfD0cLeI2UhXHcqOThyphenhyphen6ZmmuttP8IF7jTC5X5JAAIHpm9AIjM7zr8wUDp5sKTR-aLmljAlwP8UgxXLVBrhYBHwDEmZOBAg4kOEvjto6fU/s320/IMG_1115.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262817085365173250" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEillN6DBjds_ypJ_zxau21VA-5BU6Uv1UWKCOJLOO6Qen-GJ1DeZ-3vos5OgKCTnEJRcdYIemK8jdXbQcBGhuQDZIHHMhMrzSEOHTciiCDbG77mrDxkXJ75xnCwjEf6VZS8k4mRmjYidzU/s1600-h/wedding+035.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEillN6DBjds_ypJ_zxau21VA-5BU6Uv1UWKCOJLOO6Qen-GJ1DeZ-3vos5OgKCTnEJRcdYIemK8jdXbQcBGhuQDZIHHMhMrzSEOHTciiCDbG77mrDxkXJ75xnCwjEf6VZS8k4mRmjYidzU/s320/wedding+035.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262816016555536050" border="0" /></a>Here Chantal and I are at my younger brothers wedding.

I am sure if Chantal was the one who wrote this post she would suggest the title to be "The Day I Made A Huge Dramatic Move and Cut Off My Hair". But I like to build suspense...even though you can probably already see what has happened. We both quite like it. She was dying of heat when she took the pictures though so we will take some better ones as soon as it cools off a little. Plus the video might be sideways. If it is we will take another one of those also.<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dy9bjfIc8rE9GqhEPL_gQdvh8yXF_QiEY_lIZ8Vcdly9QsMtGf_BAISkxRA1qjxeJFfLUZDJHY9KmJUPL-Ulg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8345975805057251576.post-54392462248793547512008-08-02T10:47:00.000-07:002008-11-13T01:13:09.377-08:00Ultimate fighting championships<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOz8Bi5hKpnTXgYI2TmCSUPEZ5eb5E-bE1Xw1hvJWNf86DH6CkNqZFGTMq363Lm-IwjQuztihbfXckMqBKKhk3g-6v1lAyi3Yw5FrvseoIXXF8PwWy1zwfn6g8sMwIhyphenhyphen8aHh3DlST1LAs/s1600-h/GetAttachment.aspx.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOz8Bi5hKpnTXgYI2TmCSUPEZ5eb5E-bE1Xw1hvJWNf86DH6CkNqZFGTMq363Lm-IwjQuztihbfXckMqBKKhk3g-6v1lAyi3Yw5FrvseoIXXF8PwWy1zwfn6g8sMwIhyphenhyphen8aHh3DlST1LAs/s320/GetAttachment.aspx.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5229980791263729906" border="0" /></a><br />I am going to try and be better at posting on this thing. Chantal and I keep saying that we will do it more often, but have not yet done so well. Here is what's new in life. I was on a mens softball team about a week ago. We were placed number two in our division, but the tournament came up and we found out we were playing in the tournament a division higher than us. We went in and lost our first game to the number one seed. So instead of playing 3 games and then a championship we had to play 5 or 6 games in two days. We knocked off everyone from our league and then started on the upper division teams. In two days we knocked off the second best and third best team in the upper division. We were in the championships and were up by five points in the last inning. Unfortunately their big hitter came up and hit a home run with a few on base. I sadly was not able to play the second half of our game as in the 4th inning I jumped for a ball and when I came down my leg landed in a hole. I popped my ankle out of place and have had it in a brace ever since. Not a bad brace...but nonetheless...not too fun! I did bat an average of over .900 on the year. That means more than nine out of ten times I got on base.<br /><br />In other news around the world. Chantal and I bought a wii system. It is pretty well fabulous. It tells us we are in good shape and have great balance. I am glad that the little creepy voice from the game tells me that or I would never truly know! I'll put some wii videos on soon. Chantal doing the hula hoop is hilarious.<br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Dougals/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" alt="" />Chantal and Trevor Dougalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04206820451512876195noreply@blogger.com2
